84 PA Devotionals thought pro oking Announcements give special attention As much a part of first period as the 8:30 tardy bell or toll call was the daily devo- tional. Each day about 8155 the voice of either Donna Moore, Beth Rowland, Cheri Green, Kmi Kingsley, Carol Porter or Tara Schooler echoed through the school, Although the Student Council met only about once a month, the appointed devo- tional committee, a division of student coun- cil, had a daily job to do. Each girl was responsible for picking her own devotional from a book, newspaper, or other source, and presenting the reading over the public address system every morning for a week before passing the honor on to another committee member. The blaring Barry Manilow songs played to introduce and conclude the devotional may have awakened some weary-eyed souls, but the traditional devotionals were announced to give the students something to think about during the day, chairpersons Donna Moore and Beth Rowland agreed. Then came homeroom. A member of the student council, usually President Roger Watkins, made the announcements concern- ing the days' events and the outcome and schedule of athletic events. The announcements gave the clubs and organizations the attention they deserved but often didn't get, Roger said. The announcements were repeated during fifth period. Also, Student Council was in charge of saying a prayer along with the announce- ments at the beginning of each home foot- ball game. But before any of this could take place, a volunteer from the junior Reserve Officers Training Corps raised the flag in front of the school. 'iThe flag was raised very quickly to show that it couldnt wait to get up there and wave, Sgt. Alvin Fowler said. Then at the end of the day the flag was lowered very slowly because it supposedly wanted to stay up and wave, according to Sgt. Fowler. The flag was then intricately folded into a series of triangles and placed in the front office for the night. A is fr fx bt is . ...k f ..s .
